What are some strange phenomena in this universe?

We found a galaxy that is fenced by another galaxy with a Star Wars-like lightsaber

Between two galaxies 28 to 30 billion years away, from which light took 11 billion years to reach us, a galactic war rages on. It’s not between advanced technological civilizations but between two galaxies that are about to merge. They pass through each other and then move further apart over hundreds of millions of years. In the heart of one of them, the supermassive black hole is on a feast. It acquired vast amounts of new gas.

It’s not that unlikely that this dance between the galaxies caused huge gas clouds to move and thicken around the center to provide the food for the supermassive black hole, causing it to become a quasar. It looks like an enormous lightsaber that pierces the other galaxy as they charge at each other.

The piercing beam disrupts the nebulae of the other galaxy. Making the wounded regions incapable of star formation. This kills the other galaxy slowly with all these cuts and piercings. At the same time, the quasar gets more and more food because the merger continues to bring more and more new gas to the hungry black hole.

This cosmic joust occurred when the universe was only 18% of its current age and may be one of the stranger phenomena discovered in the universe so far.

What are some of the best rare natural phenomena that occur on Earth?

 Stunning Turquoise Ice in Lake Baikal

Asperatus Clouds

Manhattanhenge — sometimes referred to as the Manhattan Solstice — is a circumstance which occurs twice a year, during which the setting sun aligns with the east–west streets of the main street grid in the borough of Manhattan

Milky Way arching over a Joshue Tree in California

Enchanted River

Enchanted River is found in Barangay Talisay, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. It is called "enchanted" because no one has ever reached its bottom.

What are the most interesting island phenomena?

 Three Examples

One:

There is an island in the Republic of Mauritius,

It is located in the Indian Ocean and has what is called an “underwater waterfall”.

It’s not a true waterfall—obviously. It is caused by the pattern formed by sand which is falling off the ledges into the crevices below.

Miyake Jima Island

It’s one of the most dangerous islands in the world: prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.

There is a regular leak of sulfur in the air—consequently—locals frequently wear gas masks on the island.

Sable island in Canada.

It is an uninhabited, 13 square mile island that has at least 350 shipwrecks around it.

Horses roam the island. They ended up there due to a surplus of horses left from Boston merchants.

Today—they have their own unique genetic makeup. And live in peace on the island, which is essentially a giant sand dune.

But they have found suitable grass to eat and ponds to drink from. When water is in short supply, they've learned to dig holes, finding a layer of clean water just beneath the surface.

And they are majestic AF.
